This was my laugh of the day.
I just looked on Wiki, regarding that break...
Simms came in to replace the struggling Brunner against the Philadelphia Eagles. On his second drive, Simms suffered a season-ending injury when the thumb on his throwing hand hit a player's helmet on his follow-through. The injury was reported as a dislocation, but according to the book, Simms to McConkey, written by Phil McConkey, Simms, and **** Schaap, the injury was much more severe, with the thumb literally hanging off after impact, and the bone sticking out through the skin.[17]

No doubt Zimm. Didn't Phil come off the bench to spark us and then broke his thumb?

Yeah, Ro... He missed the whole '82 season with a knee injury, and Parcell's chose Brunner as the starter in '83. I think when Phil finally got his chance, it was game #6 that season against philly . His 2nd series... broken thumb and another season down the tubes.
